re: For everyone worrying, recruiting isn’t the same…

Because Notre Dame has always had different recruiting, due to their schools higher standards. Most of these kids have probably wanted to go to Notre Dame for years and have been working towards this, which could speak to how well Brian Kelly recruits.

Kids obviously weren’t tied to Brian Kelly, but loved the school and wanted to go there. In this day in age, I would much rather a 3 or 4 star kid that loves LSU, than a 5 star that plays hard 25% of the time and is worried about the NFL at 17.

Another thing too is that the vast majority of ND's staff is still there and has been recruiting those guys already. LSU's ENTIRE STAFF is new outside of Davis. People may know Frank Wilson, but he hasn't been here in years. People may know Kelly, but they know him as that Catholic school HC up north. Every connection we make is damn near brand new. Every evaluation is damn near brand new. Every offer has to be looked at again. Kids have to build relationships, see NIL opportunities, etc.

LSU has to build everything from the ground up. People still want to see how a guy like BK looks coaching a LSU squad. This season will convince a lot of recruits good or bad.
